The period for a new election of a citizen to administer the executive government of the United States being 
not far distant, and the time actually arrived when your thoughts must be employed in designating the person

sacrifice of inclination to the opinion of duty, and to a deference for what appeared to be your 
desire. I constantly hoped that it would have been much earlier in my power, consistently with 
motives which I was not at liberty to disregard, to return to that retirement from which I had been 
reluctantly drawn. The strength of my inclination to do this, previous to the last election, had 
even led to the preparation of an address to declare it to you; but mature reflection on the then 
perplexed and critical posture of our affairs with foreign nations, and the unanimous advice of 
persons entitled to my confidence, impelled me to abandon the idea. I rejoice that the state of 
your concerns, external as well as internal, no longer renders the pursuit of inclination incompatible
